What is Backorder?

A backorder is a customer order accepted for a product that is currently out of stock, to be fulfilled when new stock arrives.

Backorders keep the sale but add waiting time and cancellation risk. They should be visible to buying so the next purchase order covers them, and customers should be told a realistic date.
